William Ransom Wood was a complex man. This bio was pretty much copied and pasted from the UA Stories site, and is VERY complimentary and full of gaps, more about the university than about Wood, and very one-sided about his actual deeds and life. I've added a bit (poetry, Project Chariot, controversy over Wood Center) and gotten a few biographical details, but this really needs to be filled out and improved, with some stuff excised.

I completely agree. I'll see what research I can do over this weekend and maybe add to it something this month. It's rudimentary at best. Sean Egan (talk) 07:23, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
